OKLAHOMA SUGAR ARTISTS
PRESENT
THE OKLAHOMA STATE SUGAR ART SHOW
AND
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS

September 27-28, 2008 with setup on September 26.

Dressing the bridal table is just like coordinating a wardrobe -- all of the complementary elements must be there. The contestant's chosen theme must be echoed in the table design. This competition is open to contestants from semiprofessional to master level.

Entrants who don't care to fuss with all the individual table ornamentation may enter the ‘Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show’ -- a companion event that focuses on the skill of the decorator without added to-do. Little or no table decoration is required and contestants may compete against their peers in experience appropriate divisions with eight different categories from which to choose (children's though masters).

RULE UPDATES FOR 2008 INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1. No commercial flowers may be used on any competition piece -- automatic point deduction.
2. No non-edible jewelry -- automatic point deduction.
3. No cake parts or cakes from PREVIOUS wedding cake competition may be reentered in the companion event the following year.
4. Competitors who have either won or placed (GRAND, FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD) in the Wedding Cake Competition will automatically be considered MASTER level decorators.
5. WEDDING COMPETITION exhibits may not have been in competition before or seen at the ICES convention -- the work must be new and fresh and we hope will express new techniques and invention. 6. Responsibility: Contestants must double check that all ingredients used to decorate the cakes are acceptable under the USA FDA food and health requirements. No plastic or glass products can ever be used on the cake surface or decorations on a cake. Please bring documentation or contact the Show Director ahead of time to check if there is a question about any product application.
